Summer is the time for outdoor sports and you can protect your teeth, cheeks, gums and lips with a low-cost mouth guard. It could save you from a knocked out or chipped tooth, and it will prevent you from grinding your teeth during the big game.
No really, just dont. Weve all seen someone open a bottle with their teeth. An amazing feat? Nope, but a great way to cause micro fractures in your teeth. Using your teeth to rip open potato chip bags or to crush ice are also no nos.
The short answer is no. You most likely cannot sunburn your teeth. Shwew! Your lips on the other hand can sunburn. In fact, your lips might be the most susceptible to sunburn. Its important not to rely on regular sunscreen to protect your lips, choose a lip balm with a minimum of SPF 15. It is designed for your lips, and it will stick better. And just like with sunscreen, remember to reapply it every couple hours.
There are lots of reasons to smile all summer long. Evidence suggests that smiling reduces stress and helps your heart. So show those teeth! Brush twice a day, floss daily and smile big. You'll feel better when you do.

Merit Dental is wonderful! I had an extremely painful toothache and Paula at Merit Dental in Blairsville PA got me in the very next day! I was extremely nervous going to the dentist but the doctor and staff put me at ease right away. They were so kind, friendly and patient! Everything was explained to me completely. The doctor was so gentle and careful. I experienced no pain during the surgical extraction of my tooth. After the procedure they made sure I was comfortable and calm. I was given detailed instructions by the doctor both written and verbal. The price was very good and they filed on my insurance for me. It was a surprisingly good experience! Excellent service!!!

I have a tremendous fear of going to the dentist but the people that work there make me so relaxed that I would never go anywhere else. I've only been going there for a short time. I feel like I have known them for a long time. Very friendly

Highly recommended place for those, like myself, who have anxiety seeing a dentist. Like others that have reviewed this, Dr. Kabitzke is incredibly calming, highly professional character and the surrounding staff were equally great. I'm so happy to get some much needed work done here.

I am so happy with Dr. Kabitzke. He has a very calming presence and I like that he talks me through everything. Having dental anxiety is horrible and now all my dental work is completed and I just have to consult with the oral surgeon for my implant. The office staff are very friendly and accommodating. Everyone from Paula at the front desk, to April and Heather in the back are great at what they do and make you feel welcome and at ease. Would highly recommend Merit Dental!

I highly recommend Merit Dental! I had a broken tooth and they worked me in the very next day. There are different payment options (if you don't have dental insurance).The dentist was fantastic! He was not rushed, explained everything he was doing, and did a great job on my broken tooth. I can't even tell it's ever been damaged. If you are nervous about dental care, this is the place you want to go!
